Electronic sports (E-sports) are series of competitive activities different from the traditional physical sports, and E-sports athlete is becoming a new profession. Along with the fast development of E-sports industry, the number of E-sports athletes increased tremendously. The early retirement of some top-ranking athletes caused by occupational injuries has aroused the societal attentions on the health problems of E-sports athletes. Facing special occupational exposure, E-sports athletes encounter different health issues comparing to the counterparts of their ages. It is necessary to scientifically identify their health hazards and common health issues, in order to conduct effective health management for this particular professional group. This review summarized global literature on health issues and health management on E-sports athletes. The research on their health issues were mainly descriptive and there was a paucity on interventional research and health management. These provide references and directions on the future health services and research on E-sports athletes.
电子竞技简称电竞，是区别于常规体育运动的一项竞技活动，电竞选手也逐渐成为一项新兴职业。随着电竞行业的快速发展，电竞选手人数激增，一些优秀选手由于健康问题过早退役，使得电竞选手的职业相关健康问题受到社会高度关注。由于其职业性质特殊，电竞选手的健康问题也有别于同龄人。科学地识别电竞选手这个特殊职业群体所存在的健康隐患和常见健康问题，对其开展有效的健康管理是十分必要的。本文对国内外目前发表的电竞选手健康问题和健康管理研究的文献进行综述，关于健康问题的描述性研究较多，而干预性研究和健康管理方面的研究相对缺乏。这也为未来针对电竞选手群体开展的健康服务和研究工作提供依据与思路。.
